It really surprises me that humans would end their race this stupidly

This feels like something that would genuinely happen in a fever dream, They'd make a pipe wrench which will ruin everyone's lives and possibly end it in the coming years just for a few slips of paper. They could've helped end global warming, make people's lives better who are living poorly, find cures for diseases. But they'd rather work for years on a pipe wrench to make humanity obsolete, nice.
